  • Santa Clara County Tricolored Blackbird Nesting and Foraging Monitoring Project 2017-2018 Final Report
    Santa Clara County Tricolored Blackbird Nesting and Foraging Monitoring Project 2017-2018 Final Report Final Report Prepared for: California Department of Fish and Wildlife & Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency Prepared by: Ryan Phillips, Andrew Bradshaw, Katie Smith and Claire Ackland Talon Ecological Research Group 421 N. 19th Street San Jose, California 95112 Contact: Ryan Phillips Email: [email protected] Prepared on: September 2019 ABSTRACT During 2017 and 2018, Talon Ecological Research Group (Talon) conducted a comprehensive survey of Tricolored Blackbirds (Agelaius tricolor) throughout Santa Clara County. Financial support for this project was provided by a Natural Community Conservation Program Local Assistance Grant with a matching grant from the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency. The goal of the project was to determine the breeding status of the species and better understand their local ecology. Tricolored blackbirds have declined at an alarming rate throughout their range. Recent surveys have shown an 80% decline over the past 90 years and a 63% decline between 2008 and 2014. Within the past 40 years, seven historical nesting colonies were recorded in Santa Clara County. Talon monitoring during the 2017 breeding season found only two of those seven sites had nesting Tricolored Blackbirds. This is a 71.4% decline of nesting colonies in Santa Clara County. This study found that 29 sites had adequate breeding habitat. However, only 4 of those 29 sites (9%) had Tricolored Blackbirds present. Two historic sites and one newly identified site (75% of occupied sites) successfully fledged young in 2017. Two nesting colonies were located on private property (Del Puerto Canyon Road and Highway 130 in San Antonio Valley) and one on public property (Cañada de Los Osos Ecological Reserve).

    First Amendment to the Draft Environmental Impact Report Santana West Redevelopment Project Prepared by the September 2016 PREFACE This document, together with the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR), constitutes the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Santana West Redevelopment project. The Draft EIR was circulated to affected public agencies and interested parties for a 45-day review period from June 24, 2016 to August 8, 2016. This volume consists of comments received by the City of San José (City), the Lead Agency on the Draft EIR, during the public review period, responses to those comments, and revisions to the text of the Draft EIR. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the FEIR provides objective information regarding the environmental consequences of the proposed project. The FEIR also examines mitigation measures and alternatives to the project intended to reduce or eliminate significant environmental impacts. The FEIR is intended to be used by the City and any Responsible Agencies in making decisions regarding the project. The CEQA Guidelines advise that, while the information in the FEIR does not control the agency’s ultimate discretion on the project, the agency must respond to each significant effect identified in the DEIR by making written findings for each of those significant effects. According to the State Public Resources Code (Section 21081), no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact report has been certified which identifies one or more significant effects on the environment that would occur if the project is approved or carried out unless both of the following occur: (a) The public agency makes one or more of the following findings with respect to each significant effect: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will mitigate or avoid the significant effect on the environment.
